In July, small carriers faced a challenging market marked by volatile rates and rising diesel costs, prompting some to make smart strategic moves while others struggled. Successful carriers focused on local routes, strengthened relationships during downtime, prioritized driver coaching, monitored costs closely, and embraced technology to improve operations. Conversely, many failed to plan for profitability, neglected safety protocols, missed opportunities for direct business contacts, and let emotions dictate their rate decisions. As carriers prepare for August, they are encouraged to learn from July's lessons to enhance their strategies and operations.
